“We offer a platform for knowledge exchange and support project development to strengthen regional and local R&I capacities and foster sustainable and inclusive growth in all regions. Through our working groups we work with R&I in a comprehensive way that is cross-sectorial and cross-disciplinary, promoting ecosystem thinking (quadruple helix cooperation) and the importance of regional and local innovation ecosystems. ERRIN plays a key role in Brussels by raising the profile of its members and the regional agenda in EU R&I policies to make them respond better to the needs of European regions. ERRIN also works closely with the European institutions and partners to advance the interests of regions in R&I.”
